Hi Rachel - if the itchiness and pain was occurring in just one breast, not both, I'd say yes, be concerned. But when both breasts are involved it's rarely, rarely, RARELY (i.e., almost never) anything to do with breast cancer. Did you start using a new detergent? Start eating something that could be causing an allergic reaction? Maybe you could prevail on the doctor to fit you in simply to assuage your emotional stress... It's good to be diligent about breast changes, so I'd get it checked. But frankly, since it's in both breasts at once, this doesn't sound like a cancer symptom. Good luck - PJH
